Even so, casting speed is probably not very important if Battle Stance is not going to be recast often or cast in battle.
Bronze: Premonition, the extra damage of Aggression is all fine and well but if you can't hit them you don't get the chance to damage. With the extra attack value you should hit more often.<br>
 
Silver: Drill, without this your other CA can be seriously crippled for regen time if you raise this CA up to respectable levels.<br>
 
Gold: Idol if you're playing with others, Retaliation if you're not. The low chance of the retalaition limits it's usefulness, but if you're not playing with others Idol is just a waste.<br><br>
